Would you have just four teams play as part of an expanded Bowl Championship Series? Or would you scrap it for an eight, twelve, sixteen, or twenty-four team format?

16 teams, just like they do it at all the other levels of college football. Have the major bowls take turns hosting the finals and the other major bowls be the semifinals.
The minor bowls can be the equivalent of the postseason NIT in women's and men's basketball.

A 16 team playoff. The teams should be decided on by a selection committee, like in college basketball and not by some flawed BCS formula.
They could have a couple of other bowl games outside of the 16 team playoff, but the number of bowl games needs to be reduced dramatically. They keep adding more and more bowl games each year and any team with a mediocre season can get into a bowl game. It no longer means a whole lot to get into a bowl game anymore because there are so many of them.

Take the entire AP Top 25...give the #1 team a bye in the first round, and may the best team win. this makes it fair for all teams (the bye is because of the odd number), and gives a team that may not even be in the Top 10 that is hot a chance. I am all for a playoff, but the holiday bowl season is too steeped in tradition; that's why I don't think you will see it for quite some time, if at all.

sure with the aid of shown fact that some communities a bypass around a lollipop time table, it does not make it honest for say...and SEC team who's compelled to play as much as 5 communities ranked interior the precise 25. Heres the way i think of it is going to likely be. The BCS turns into an effortless ballot such with the aid of fact the AP or coaches that easy ranks the communities. Of the 6 BCS conferences, each and each champion immediately gets a bid right into a sixteen team end of the season playoff. Say if LSU won the convention and Florida replace into ranked seventh...Florida could get a bid. you in user-friendly terms %. the subsequent 10 communities so as of the BCS ballot. some issues could decide to ensue besides. The 12th game could decide to be eradicated, and the playoff could ought to start one week after the nicely-known season. All independents could decide to be required to connect a convention I.E notre dame could decide to be interior the massive ten. and finally all communities could decide to play a minimum of a million out of convention game against a BSC convention college. people could say yet what approximately # 17 no longer interior the tounament...it may nonetheless create controversy. permit me ask you this...does #17 truly have a shot at a nationwide call. seems a sprint extra actual looking than # 3 getting omitted.

I'd say take the top 4 rated teams in the polls. That is 2 additional weeks of football or 1 extra game for these athletes. Any more than 4 teams and you are adding too many games. You can't have 8 or 16 teams because that is adding 4 to 8 weeks of games. These are young kids and you would opening them up to too many injuries and the chance for the great ones not to go pro. One additional game is the way to go.

Personaly I think it would be easy. Take all the conference champs, then about 5 other teams using the BCS system to figure out who they should be to make up 16. Use the bigger bowl games for the final fews games. The only other argument is that the conferences would lose money from losing out on bowl games. No one has suggested getting rid of all the other bowl games. Anyone that isn't in the tourney is free to go to any bowl game they want to.

I'm just going to reprint what jerrybear wrote because it's absolutely right:
"16 teams, just like they do it at all the other levels of college football. Have the major bowls take turns hosting the finals and the other major bowls be the semifinals.

Four or eight team playoff with the rest being bowl games.

They should never have a playoff!
A playoff system would only further separate the "Haves from the
Have Nots"
Now I would advocate one last game between the two teams
who won their respective bowl games and were then ranked
1 & 2.

I would like to see a March Madness format but the amount of time that it would take in football would make it hard. Not to mention that injuries would play a significant role in limiting player involvement.
